The GBICs are available in different case styles
(Figure 12). One type has two spring tabs at the front of
the GBIC; the other type has an extractor handle on the
front. GBICs are shipped with a protective rubber plug in
the connectors. Leave the plug in place when no cables are
connected to the GBIC.

GBIC in an operating 450-1GBIC MDA without turning
off power to the switch.
Note:
The MDAs are
not
hot-swappable. Power down
the switch before installing or removing an MDA.
